"The conservative majority in the European Parliament has once again ignored the voice of the citizens and common sense. Adopting the ‘Directive of Shame’ in a bid to create a Fortress Europe deprives immigrants of their basic human rights and condemns them to a life of illegality. The Council’s scandalous and inhuman conciliation agreement is contrary to the existing international legal framework. The assurances of greater protection for immigrants in Europe are in complete contrast with the grim pictures of the ‘reception’ centres.
Europe cannot shield itself behind this unacceptable legislation and close the door to immigrants.
The New Democracy (ND) government and its MEPs who have actively supported today’s decision are largely responsible. What Mr Karamanlis said in front of the television cameras when he visited the immigrant reception centre on the island of Samos a few days ago is belied by the actions of New Democracy."@en1
